What is electromagnetic pollution?
There are mainly two "families" of electromagnetic radiation:
High-frequency radiation: Generated by popular wireless systems such as connected objects, Wi-Fi, cell
phone towers/ antenna arrays, cell phones, fixed wireless phones, Bluetooth, baby-phones, etc.
Low-frequency radiation: This concerns all appliances connected to the electrical network, medium and
high voltage power lines, electrical panels and motors.
Cables and electrical systems can create an electric field and also a magnetic field depending on the
power.
Inserting the device battery
Installing the 9V battery (supplied): The 9V battery must be con-
nected respecting the + and - terminals on the black connec-
tor.
Battery level display: When switching the device on the battery
level is displayed for 3 seconds in the middle row of LEDs,
while the other LEDs are off at this point. The LEDs will light up
from the red one at the top, stopping at the relevant LED to
show the battery level. The green LEDs at the bottom repre-
sent a full battery.
Battery saving mode: To save power the device will automatically
switch itself off after 20 minutes. For frequent usage, it is re-
commended to use a rechargeable battery.
Using your detector, there are two main functions!
1. Standard Mode:
As soon as the device is turned on, it is in « Standard Mode » This mode detects the magnetic field, the
electric field, and high frequencies (radio frequencies) separately.
2. Full HF Mode:
Press the HF ONLY briefly. This function only allows the detection of high frequencies (therefore not
electric and magnetic fields). The LEDs light up from the bottom to the top, from left to right. The cor-
responding LED values are on page 5 of this manual.
To turn off the SOUND press and hold the HF ONLY button.

Usage guidance
Interior or exterior pollution?
The first time you use the device you may be surprised by the level of exposure if it is higher than ex-
pectations.
It is absolutely necessary to identify the cause(s) of radiation to have the clearest possible "picture" of
the situation; this will make it possible to apply suitable and effective protection/shielding solutions
against the nuisances observed.
To help you quickly identify your electromagnetic exposure:
1.
Turn on the device in Standard mode (with or without speakerphone on)
2.
Move slowly from room to room, paying particular attention to the areas where you stay for a
long time (e.g. the bedroom, living room, office). If possible after, switch off the electricity in
your home for a few moments and then repeat the same detection room by room.
3.
If the levels are the same, it means that the radiation is coming from outside. If they are lower,
it means that you have an exposure generated by your own electrical installation or a system
(s) connected to it.
For outside radiation, some effective solutions can be used such as paints, fabrics, curtains and plastic
films on windows. These products act as screens and greatly reduce the penetration of outside radia-
tion coming inside. However, it is important to choose the right solution according to the type of radia-
tion that is detected, as unfortunately there is no effective solution that works for all types of radia-
tion.
How to find the polluting devices inside?
It is advisable to use the detector and check the radiation level room by room.
The polluting systems are mainly cordless phones (DECT), WiFi, alarms, and various connected objects.
If you unplug each device for a few moments you should immediately notice a decrease in radiation
with your detector.
Please note! If you measure an internet box and you have a DECT phone next to it, you must be careful
to dissociate the two sources because these two systems have the same type of radiation (high fre-
quency).
